First of all, there must be a matchmaker, that is, a middleman. To fix men and women, sometimes the man has a good eye and lets the matchmaker go to the woman's house to fix them. But now, love and marriage are free, and there are few professional matchmakers, but there are also intermediaries to communicate the relationship between men and women. If the woman's parents really agree to this marriage, it is up to the man to determine the auspicious day for marriage.

In the past, people were superstitious about fortune telling. They gave the birth date of this man and a woman to the fortune teller, and asked him to calculate the wedding date and the auspicious time for this man to meet his relatives. Although some young people don't believe in this custom now, the elders in the general family still advocate "seeing the sky"

After the date of the man is determined, the matchmaker should tell the woman the time, and then the man should prepare the bride price. Marriage customs generally have provisions on bride's gifts, such as what to bring and how much to give. Generally, men send ham, alcohol, tobacco, fruits, dried fruits and health products. Now, the physical objects will be relatively reduced. The man's parents give rings, necklaces and fashionable clothes to the daughter-in-law who has never been to the door. Of course, it depends on the requirements of the woman and her current parents. Some require that the bride price must have buildings, cars, furniture, all kinds of electrical appliances, gold and silver jewelry and daily necessities, which is also commonly known as "having a car and a house".

Before marriage, the bride and groom usually take wedding photos in the photo studio. Some of the few grooms have a good family, so it's really enviable to take the wedding photos directly into a real scene!

On the wedding day, more than ten cars are usually prepared to marry the bride. At the same time, the bride's dowry will be brought back When the groom arrives at the bride's house, there will usually be someone to entertain the bride. The groom is going to the boudoir. At this time, someone will usually embarrass the groom and let him in. After receiving the bride, you should carry it all the way to the car and set off firecrackers when the wedding car starts to leave.
